Under Rydon Hill

Welcome to this blog about my time away from the tedium of domestic management. Once called "Tits and Things", now sub-titled "Life in Quantoxia", there's plenty of bird ringing (90%), some odd bits of general birding, some local steam trains, some personal bits and occasional 'away days' in other parts of Britain. Rydon Hill overlooks the lower valley of the Doniford Stream, where most of these activities take place.

What a difference ...

... a day makes - or an inch of rain overnight.
Checked the meadows and almost all net lanes are under water.


Confluence by redundant cattle sheds - no Dipper today (or Heron or Egret)


Running full and fast below the bridge


A bit wet! - normally can't see the stream at all.

I wouldn't have been able to get to any of the other net rides anyway, on foot even. The silted-up, former watercourses were now flooded, too. giving the impression of a braided stream.
